Ok, I have mentioned it as one thing I wanted to do =P <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.japhethlim.com\/index.php\/2011\/10\/04\/my-3rd-turning-point-in-university\/\">HERE! \u00a0<\/a>One thing interesting is I notice this sem person would start a conversation with me by<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> &#8220;So which country next?&#8221; &#8220;So what are you up to ya?&#8221;<\/span> haha I don&#8217;t think I am interesting but rather what I do might be. But I think this final year can be different because&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">1<strong>) I am pausing on activities and thinking of what&#8217;s next.<\/strong> Yes, it&#8217;s bugging me every day of thinking what&#8217;s coming up next after my final year.<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> The path of Architecture is huge.<\/span> I think one reason why I&#8217;m almost so paranoid about it is because I want to make sure the path that I want hits the right network. Among the few conversations I had was with<strong> Bryan Coll, the Public Information Officer of UNEP<\/strong> (The picture above) who introduced me about UN habitat. so yes I&#8217;m looking up for more opportunities to meet up with networks that can open up my eyes on Careers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>2) MESYM<\/strong>. I think what&#8217;s great this final year is that I can have a project where I created by my own and I can have my time determine how fast to go with it. I mean all the previous projects and activities involve other people and organizations were often under stress to rush the implementations. Thus this time I think I can spend more time on thinking and networking =)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>3) It&#8217;s time for some real knowledge.<\/strong> As much as I could be active in and out, besides the class academics and all, I think it&#8217;s really time to focus on reading and writing ups in my own blog too =) And joining some designing competitions? I am far from it but I hope to be a person balance in both environmental issues and movement while being a designer of ideas for sustainable settlements and living.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sometimes I am quite amazed how one can achieve some things in 3 years time too =)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All in all, God has blessed me a lot with where I am right now. Never want to lose this momentum =).
